Chance discoveries of weapons, horse bones and human skeletal remains along the banks River Tollense led to a campaign research which has identified them as debris from Bronze Age battle. The resources war included horses, arrowheads wooden clubs, dead had suffered blows indicating face-to-face combat. This surprisingly modern decidedly vicious struggle took place over swampy braided streams river in an area settled, possibly coveted, territory. Washed by current, bodies weapons came rest on...
Abstract. Die Kenntnis der regionalen Paläohydrologie ist eine wesentliche Grundlage für das Verständnis aktueller Umweltfragen, wie zum Beispiel nach den Gründen von hydrologischen Veränderungen, dem Einfluss Landnutzungsstrategien und Wirksamkeit Renaturierungsvorhaben in Feuchtgebieten. Auch die Interpretation Modellierungsergebnissen zu künftigen Einflüssen des Klima- Landnutzungswandels auf Gewässersystem kann durch Einbeziehung (prä-) historischer Analogien verbessert werden. Für...
Holocene sedimentary sequences lacking organic remnants or containing redeposited material pose a challenge for detailed chronological investigations, as radiocarbon dating is unsuitable. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) can be used instead, but high-resolution OSL costly. A more cost-effective and efficient approach involves the combination of low-resolution with portable (pOSL) profiling in 5–10 cm increments (e.g. Sanderson Murphy, 2010; Brill et al. 2016). This method...
Abstract Ice‐wedge polygon mires feature a micro‐relief of dry ridges, shallow wet depressions, deeper troughs and transitional sites, resulting in local mosaic vegetation. The correct recognition these landscape elements palaeoecological studies peat sections requires insight about the suitability proxies their potential for reconstruction order to reconstruct vegetation wetness patterns as well dynamics. This paper analyses 105.5 cm long section with base dating 4000 cal yr BP from an...
Lake‐level reconstructions are a key tool in hydro‐climate reconstructions, based on the assumption that lake‐level changes primarily reflect climatic changes. Although it is known land cover can affect evapotranspiration and groundwater formation, this factor commonly receives little attention interpretation of past To address issue more detail, we explore effects change Holocene fluctuations Lake Tiefer See lowlands northeastern Germany. We reconstruct analysis 28 sediment records from...
Abstract This study investigates the post‐glacial development of four small river–lake systems in Weichselian belt northern central Europe. The valleys investigated are part an immature drainage system characterized by frequent and abrupt changes flow direction presence numerous stagnant‐ice depressions valley course. contain thick sedimentary sequences which provide excellent archives for reconstruction development. Study results indicate that reuse segments former subglacial meltwater...
Abstract
Knowledge of long-term time trends solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation on ground level is high scientific interest. For this purpose, precise measurements over a long are necessary. One the challenges UV monitoring faces permanent and gap-free data collection several decades. Data gaps hamper formation comparison monthly or annual means, and, in worst case, lead to incorrect conclusions further evaluation trend analysis data. estimating fill series (daily radiant exposure highest daily...
Abstract. Based on a multi-dating and multi-proxy approach, we reconstruct Late Holocene environmental changes derived from sediments of Schweriner See, large lowland lake in NE Germany, covering the past 3070+170/-210 years cal BP. We infer variations large-scale atmospheric circulation systems by combining in-lake productivity indicators obtained traditional high-resolution techniques (e.g. LOI550, TOC, inc / coh), diatom assemblages, compound-specific hydrogen isotopes (δ2HC25). Before...
In this study, we explore the potential to reconstruct lake-level (and groundwater) fluctuations from tree-ring chronologies of black alder (Alnus glutinosa L.) for three study lakes in Mecklenburg Lake District, northeastern Germany. As gauging records region are generally short, long-term reconstructions could provide valuable information on past hydrological conditions, which, turn, useful assess dynamics climate and landscape evolution. We selected as our species typically thrives...
Abstract We investigated four subaerial (paleo)lacustrine landforms at the north‐eastern shoreline of Schweriner See, Germany. These included two beach ridges, one nearshore bar and a silting up sequence located close to fossil cliff, which marks former maximum extent See. used luminescence profiling with SUERC portable OSL device (POSL) on all sediment sequences in combination sedimentological investigations such as grain size, loss‐on‐ignition magnetic susceptibility provide information...
Im Rahmen der Forschungen zum bronzezeitlichen Schlachtfeld im Tollensetal (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, 13. Jh. v.u.Z.) wurden bislang Uberreste von mehr als 130 jungen Mannern entdeckt, die perimortale wie auch verheilte Verletzungen zeigen. Dazu kommen Waffenfunde selben Zeitphase, hauptsachlich Pfeilspitzen aus Flint und Bronze sowie holzerne Keulen. Das Fundmaterial stammt diversen Fundplatzen entlang eines 2,5 km langen Flussabschnitts. Die Fundplatze Weltzin 13 Kessin 12 markieren den...
Abstract. Geoarchäologische Untersuchungen im Bereich eines glazigenen Solls verweisen auf den holozänen menschlichen Einfluss einer Grundmoränenplatte in Vorpommern prähistorischer und historischer Zeit sowie dessen geomorphologische Rückkopplung. Die basale sedimentäre Füllung der untersuchten Depression besteht aus Torf, Mudde Verlandungstorf spiegelt früh- bis mittelholozäne hydrologische Schwankungen wider. obere Sequenz von wechselnden Kolluvien organogenen Schichten deutet einen...
Satellite-based remote sensing (RS) data are increasingly used to map and monitor local, regional, global environmental phenomena processes. Although the availability of RS has improved significantly, especially in recent years, operational applications derive value-added information products still limited by close-range validation verification deficits. This is mainly due gap between standardized sufficiently available type, quality, quantity. However, ensure best possible linkage data, it...
Abstract. Based on a multi-dating and multi-proxy approach, we reconstruct Late Holocene environmental changes from sediments of Schweriner See, large lowland lake in NE-Germany spanning the past 3070+170/-210 cal BP. We infer large-scale atmospheric variations using combination in-lake productivity indicators traditional high-resolution techniques (e.g. LOI550, TOC, inc/coh), diatom assemblages, which are sensitive to ice-cover duration, as well compound-specific hydrogen isotopes (δ2HC25)...
